INDIANAPOLIS - The BCA's mission in the community is to address issues that pertain to the participation and employment of minorities in sports. Throughout the BCA's 20-year history, we have been at the forefront of many efforts to enhance the employment opportunities and professional development of the minority professional. " The BCA meeting is part of USA Track and Field's continued efforts to collaborate with organizations that share similar values as it relates to the professional development of coaches, administrators, and athletes" per Floyd Keith, BCA Executive Director.

The annual Meeting of USA Track and Field will draw several hundred attendees during the dates of November 29th - December 4th to downtown Indianapolis. In conjunction with this meeting, the BCA will host a meeting sponsored by the US Army on Friday, December 1st, 2006 to provide awareness of BCA membership benefits for the members of USA Track and Field.
